This post discusses how Amazon Web Services (AWS) can help you set up a unified search platform for educational content using Amazon OpenSearch Service. Amazon OpenSearch Service is a managed service that makes it easy to deploy, operate, and scale OpenSearch clusters in the AWS Cloud. With digital learning becoming increasingly popular, managing a vast amount of educational data can be challenging. A unified search platform enables users to search across multiple indexes at once, providing a centralized view of all available resources.

This post shows how Amazon Web Services (AWS) Ground Station customers can start using the Contacts dashboard for AWS Ground Station solution to fulfill their AWS Ground Station reporting and tracking needs. This solution automatically maps AWS Ground Station contacts to their associated costs and provides a feature-rich dashboard reporting capability.

As federal agencies strive to enhance digital services and create a seamless customer experience, integrating robust identity and access management (IAM) solutions has become paramount. Amazon Cognito, a robust user identity management service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), provides a secure and scalable solution for managing user authentication and authorization. When combined with Login.gov, a trusted identity platform developed by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), federal agencies can unlock a powerful combination that streamlines user access while maintaining the highest levels of security and compliance.

In today’s digital world, ensuring the security of information is essential. One common scenario where data security is crucial is when files from external sources are received by an organization. While Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) provides robust security features like the default encryption of all uploaded files, there are scenarios where it’s important to ensure that the incoming files are free from any kind of malware, such as viruses, before they are processed or stored inside the organization.

To address fragmentation challenges, the European Commission launched the Public Procurement Data Space (PPDS), a pioneering initiative to consolidate, harmonize, and facilitate access to public procurement data across the European Union (EU). Amazon Web Services (AWS) and AWS Partner NTT DATA have been selected to implement this project, and you can read this post to learn more.

In 2023, the students from Redback Racing at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) wove together their many disciplines of engineering prowess to create their latest cars: RB23 and RB21-D. After developing and going live with their real-time telemetry system on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the team has placed as the highest-ranking Australian squad in the electric vehicle (EV) division of the Australasia Formula SAE competition, placing second overall.

Federal agencies typically collect, manage, use, and distribute a wide array of documents. Storing and distributing federal agency documents is often a complicated process; documents can range from structured formats to free-flowing documentation with personal identifiable information (PII) that needs careful redaction. And because federal agencies cover a wide breadth of domains, it is challenging to develop a one-size-fits-all approach for document processing. In this post, we explore an example of how a federal agency can use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to design and deploy a solution that addresses this document processing challenge.

The 2024 version of the United Nations (UN) annual report “The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World” found that about 29.6 percent of the global population, or about 2.4 billion people, were moderately or severely food insecure in 2022, meaning they did not have adequate access to food. Food security can be caused by a number of factors, including poverty, inflationary factors, violent conflict, and the effects of climate change. In this post, we demonstrate how generative artificial intelligence (AI) can help organizations better understand the food security crisis.

Rideshare demand prediction is a well-explored topic in academia and industry, with abundant online resources offering diverse modeling frameworks tailored to different geographic contexts. A challenge with rideshare demand prediction, however, is that the trip data required to calibrate or train models can be exceptionally large. In this post, we explore the challenges of big data analytics and showcase how ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Engine, a spatial analytics library for the Apache Spark environment, can be used on Amazon EMR to effectively address these problems.
